So I have a Big question and a little question.  The little question first.  I am using the auto story pole.  The Top of Footing is referencing the top of the garage footing and not the main house footing and I can't seem to find the handle for correcting this?  The big question is why isn't there an Index in the reference manual or somewhere else?

I Thank you, but in my current set up I am not able to select "Default to Overhang"  that item is not selectable and greyed out.

I have an issue where my 10 pitch roof transitions...see photo, are there any roof gurus that know how to correct this condition?

I don't have a second floor on this house but want a large back wall with windows but this is what I'm getting so far.   I don't know why the window is generating like this...

Good Post,  I have just started working with a G602 and like the shape but dont use the other buttons as much as I should.  I bought the 55" monitor and at first there was intolerable lag, It's better now but looking to make it perfect.  Glad to hear that you got the mouse to work.  I'm hoping to get more out of mine over time.

I'm looking for some help on importing a plot plan using a DWG file?

Duplicated monitor solved the situation for now, 55 is large and need to reconfigure the office so that the monitor is lower and likely below desk height and tilted so that I'm looking down.  I may post a picture once I have it in the right position.

So I am trying my new 55" monitor and I love it so far but the mouse tracking from the laptop onto the large monitor is a problem.  the mouse is quick and accurate on the laptop but once I slide it onto the larger monitor the lag time is a real problem right now.  I have not experienced this before so I'm looking for a solution now if anyone else has encountered this problem?

rwdozier , thank you and I agree... "I seem to recall seeing a thread which shows photos of CA users with their office setup showing the monitors in use. Anyone know where it is or could some of you post some photos of your large monitors/TVs in use? Thanks!"

I have had the same trouble as if Google images is locked in one vein of images, .....weird

Thank you all for the contributions, I'm convinced and I'm going to plunk down the money for a 40- or 50" monitor to replace one of the 32" older model that I have.  I'm probably going to go to Walmart as a matter of convenience and price and while I would like a Samsung and will never buy LG....is there another brand that has worked well for your design work?

Yes, I'm doing this now and so far so good but I still feel a little lost...lol

Thank you David, I'm troubled by your last sentence about things imported in a "scattered manner." I have very little experience working with this type of importation so I'm wanting to make sure I don't corrupt something accidentally.  Ideally I'm looking to do it with someone who will look over my shoulder while I do it or vice versa and record it while doing so.  I have two projects to work on this back to back and one has a very tight lot restriction.

Well, I'm still re-searching the best methods.  I'm trying to take an existing survey and place a developed plan on it.

I can see it in an elevation view I think but I can't select it, Terrain button is greyed out and not selectable.  I was able to change it in a spec box but something is still amiss and I have not been able to find the handle

I have a fully developed plan and I want to change the elevation of the house.  I can seem to select the terrain or even see it's perimeter defined on any layer.  It shows up as checked in the display options,    ....what am I missing? lol

Mark,

After studying a bunch of ideas I really like the one you suggested above! Thank you

Thank you, very much what I'm thinking...I was searching for some inspirational images and just came across a few that I'm going to sketch around.

So this is kind of like a 'chicken or the egg' challenge, form following function.  This interior design is what they want, putting an attractive roof on it that keeps snow and water out but looks attractive is the "trick"  Hypothetically, how do I best, minimally alter the interior space  to come up with an attractive roof that sheds properly?

Thank you Mark,  yes this is a work in progress, no there is no plans for a second floor other than some storage over the garage.  Yes I have a lot of lattitude to adjust the plan.  

Mark these are good suggestions and what you suggest is similar to the roof that our program auto generates.  This home will get plenty of snow so the original front gable idea is to keep snow away from the front entry and add a chandelier to the foyer.

I'm looking for some ideas on changing this roof in the front of this house to keep out snow pockets while preserving the interior as much as possible.

Thanks Joe, I like hearing how others are doing things as I'm operating on a laptop to two 32" inch monitors.  It's working fine but I always like hearing what works better or for the different applications.  I don't have anything in portrait mode but I want to try that soon.

Hello,

With the lower cost of larger monitors has anyone ditched the dual and triple monitors for using one large monitor?
